Things that get to you.

What type of stuff tends to make you tear up? Let it be movies, books, cartoons, etc.

Kids in danger ,physically or emotionally, really tend to get to me. I usually approve of dead children if it's in a cartoon or horror movie, but if it's something were it comes unexpected, that tends to get to me. Even the terrible 2005 movie Crash (that shouldn't have one Best Picture. If America wasn't so damn homophobic, the clear winner would have one) made me tear up. The scene where the little girl jumps to save her dad from being "shot" is the only reason that movie isn't rubbish.

Tear up? What about make you rage for awhile and then make you tear up?

As long as it made you tear up. If it made you happy, depressive, angry, hormonal, and THEN made you tear up, it still counts.

I'm sorry, Jangle but I laughed in the end of Romeo and Juliet. I remember my teacher kicked me out because my friend and I kept saying that it was the perfect chance for the king to get rid of his daughter complex while Juliet was unconcious.

What gets to is the realization that bad things happen to good people for no reason whatsoever. Why is it that only the innocent people who mind their own business are the people who get caught up in the worst situations? And why are the truly horrible, selfish and evil people are the ones who get everything?

And also children who have horrible and terminal illnesses gets to me like nothing else. Why do children have to suffer, what have they done?

I would partially disagree with that. Books can really pull the emotions out when written well but I understand that it's an easier task in a program because you have an image complete with facial expressions and word delivery on top of a *hopefully* good script

Moving on...
about the only things that really get to me is the prospect of terminally ill children and forbidden and/or tragic love every now and again. The former probably doesn't need explanation while the latter just seems so...unfortunate and tragic. As if they work so hard to be together and then something takes one away from the other just as they attain some form of happiness

*ahem* I think I'm falling too much into my 'romanticism' mode ^_^;
(I hate it when I start talking like that...it seems so girly and dramatic)

In some cultures that`s a compliment because it says to the cook that they have made enough food for you to eat and that you won`t go away hungry, whereas if you eat all of your food that says they didn`t give you enough.

At the same time, some view the leftovers as a waste of food. That's why I take what`s left home and have it for lunch the next day... unless it wouldn't be good the next day.

"A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool."

What gets to me is when people who do not have jobs, and they are really good people, or a really smart person who doesn't have an education. Well, I guess that's 21st century for you.

Or anyone that died to a good person, that gets to me as well, also if people hurts my brother, I get kinda pissed off, because no one messes around in my family o_o; sometimes he says I am a bit over-protective, but eh. What-ev.

The fact that I know I can change things, but don't have the opportunity to right now really gets to me! It's maddening that I don't have a chance to make a movie about how I truly feel about certain aspects of life; mostly racism and acceptance. I'm serious that what I have in mind has not been done already and would exceed everyone's expectations! If only I was given a chance...

Oh, and yes, certain movies, and animes get me worked up too. Also, animal abusers upset me. That's why I sorta wanted to be an animal cruelty officer when I was younger.

I usually keep my cool, but arrogant, and just plain ignorant people make me sick. There's a fine line between confidence and just being plain full of yourself

This brings me to a question: why do girls/women/ladies in general cry when they are angry? My recent ex went all mad-no....she went berserk after each small arguments and starts to cry. I've been accused for "not understanding". Uh, when someone is talking between sobs, of course I can't understand.

So back to topic: Crying? Going to funerals for my fellow comrades.
Yeah, wars make soldiers cry.
